Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the appeal against the MRTP Commission's order dismissing the complaint of unfair trade practices by the Rajasthan Housing Board under the Rajasthan Housing Board Act, 1970. The Court directed the Board to allot a flat to the appellant in the Middle Income Group 'B' Housing Scheme, emphasizing the need to balance equities between the parties. The judgment reinforces the principle that state authorities must act fairly and justly in housing allotments, ensuring compliance with statutory obligations.
